Hello everyone, now I first thought of not giving this a review, but since I got more interested, I decided to do this so here we go!
Now if you want to know my thoughts on the other Despicable Me films, well, the first film was okay, it had pretty terrible animation, but it had a lot of both funny and emotional moments, the second was also decent, while it had some pretty dark moments, it had a much better animation and it was also funny, and as for this one, it´s also okay but that´ll be explained later, as for now, we´re going to dive into the plot.
The plot is about this villian called Baltazar Brat has stolen a rare diamond, Gru & Lucy try to stop him but they fail and so they get fired, a day later, Gru gets a call from his twin brother Dru who wants to impresse his father by being evil, so they decide to stop Brat from rulling the world, while this is going on, Lucy tries to be a mother to the girls, however she ends up getting Margo a boyfriend and Agnes finding a unicorn, and that´s pretty much the only way I can describe the story.
The pros
1. It has a pretty good animation, sure people can find it bright and way to colorfull, but since this was done by Illumination, you could´ve expect this type of animation, not only that but the models are pleasent and the animation is smooth.
2. The humor is pretty funny and has a tone that does a good job at being like the first two movies.
3. It has emotional and sad moments packed with character arc that once again, does a good job of resembling the other movies.
The cons.
1. It has alot of subplots like: Gru wants to take down Baltazar Brat, Gru meets his twin brother, Lucy wanting to be a mother to the girls, Margo gets a boyfriend, Agnes wants to find a unicorn, the Minnions end up going to jail and Gru dealing with the decision of weather going back to becoming a villian or not, and belive it or not, these plots do indeed have issues, some will be talked later, but anyway, the ´´Agnes wants a unicorn´´ plot feels pointless because why do we need a plot about an infant wanting to find a unicorn and the Mnnions plot feels like something that would´ve worked better if the Minnions and Gru were arrested.
2. This movie is incredibly unoriginal, first off, the plot of Gru meeting Dru makes it seem like a Jack and Jill ripoff, Baltazar Brat feels like a ripoff of Vector from the first movie as he literally does the same things as Vector and Margo finding a boyfriend plot just already feels like a ripoff from the second movie, only this time, is much shorter.
In the end, this movie is just okay, not anything great nor anything bad, just okay, would I recomend this film? Well, I think the people who personnaly enjoy a lot of plots with anything new, then they migth enjoy this film.
